The water is extremely impure, scarce, and consequently expen sive. The town is badly paved and dirty, and the houses are the most comfortless abodes I ever entered. The walls, from the climate, are damp, mouldy, and discoloured. The floors are badly paved w i t h b r i c k s , which are generally cracked, and often in holes. The roofs have no ceiling, and the families have no idea of warming themselveS, except by huddling round a fire of charcoal, which is put outside the door until the carbonic acid p has rolled away. Some of the principal families at Buenos Ayres furnish their rooms in a vary expen s i ve , but comfortless manner; they put down upon th e b r i c k fl oo r a brilliant Brussels carpet, bang a lustre from the rafters, and place against the damp wall, which they whitewash; a number Q 1 tawdry .North American chairs. They get an English piano -forte, and some marble vases; but they have no idea of group ing their furniture into a eamfortntWorrn. The ladies sit with their backs against thg4 with the least ap parent means of employing th e mselves ; and when a stranger calls upon them, he is much surprised to find they hare the uncourteous custom of never rising from their chairs. I had no time to enter into any society at Buenos Ayres, and the roams looked so comfortless, that, to tell the truth, I had little inclination. The society of Buenos Ayres is composed of English and French merchants; with a German or two. The foreign merchants are generally the agents of European houses ; and as the customs of the Spanish South Americans, their food, and the hours at which they eat it, are different from those of the English and French, there does not appear to be much communi nation between them. At Buenos. Ayres the men and women are rarely seen walking together; at the theatre they are completely sepa rated; and it is cheerless to see all the ladies sitting to gether in the boxes, while the men are in the pit—slaves, common sailors, soldiers, and merchants, all members of the same Republic. The town is furnished with provisions by the Gauchos, in a manner that chews a great want of attention to those , arrangements which are generally met with in civilized communities. Milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables, and beef are brought into the town by individuals at a gallop, and they are only to be had when they choose to bring them. The articles of life are brought together without due arrange ment, and the consequence is, that' (excepting beet) they are dearer than in London, and sometimes are not to be had at all. I happened to leave Buenos Ayres just as the fig season was over, and though it was the middle of summer, no fruit was to be had ; the towns-people seemed to be quite slitisfied with this reason, and I could not persuade them tat some one should arrange a constant supply and succession of fruits,and not leave it entirely to the Gaucho. But the same want of arra n g e ment exists in all instances. If one has been taken out to dinner in a carriage, and in the evening ventures to enquire why it has not arrived, the answer is that It is raining, and that those who let car riages will not allow them to go out if it rains. During the short time I was at Buenos Ayres I lived in e house ant of the town, which was opposite the English buryingaground, and very near the place where the cattle were killed. This latter spot was about four or fi ve acres, and was altogether devoid of pasture; at one end of it there was a large corral enclosed by rough stakes, and divided into a number of pens, each of which had a separate gate. These cells were always full of cattle doomed for slaughter. I several times had occasion to ride over this field, and it was curious to see its different appearances. In passing it in the day or evening, no human being was to be seen ; the cattle, up to their knees in mud, and with nothing to eat, were standing in the sun, occasionally lowing or rather roaring to each other. The ground hi every direction was covered with groups of large white gulls, some of which were earnestly picking at the slops of blood which they bud surrounded, while others were standing upon their tiptoes, and flapping their wings as if to recover their appetite. Each slop of blood was the spot were a bullock bad died; it was all that was left of his history, and pigs and gulls were rapidly con suming it. Early in the !naming no blood was to be seen; a number of horses, with the lasses hanging to their saddles were standing in groups apparently asleep : the Mataderos were either sitting or lying on the ground close to the stakes of the corral, and smoking segais ; while the cattle, without metaphor, were waiting until the last hour of their existence should strike; for as soon as the clock of the Recolata struck, the men fill vaulted on their horses, the gates of all the cells were opened, and in a very few seconds there was a scene ,of apparent confusion which it is quite impossible' to describe. Every man had a wild bullock at the end of his lasso ; some of these animals were running away from the horses, and some running at them; many we're roaring, some were hamstrung, and running about on their stumps; some were killed and skinned, while occasionally one would break the lasso. The hors. would often fall upon his rider, and the bullock endeavour to regain his liberty, until the horsemen at full speed caught him with the lasso, tripping him off the ground in a man ner that might apparently break every bone in his body. I was more than once in the middle of this odd scene, and was really sometimes obliged to gallop for my life, without exactly knowing where to go, for it was often Scylla a n d Charybdis.—Captain Head's Notes. THE MURDERS NEAR LEATHERHEAD. Intelligence reached Union-hall late on Thursday even ing, from an inhabitant of Beckenham, in Kent, that a party of Gipsies had early that morning encamped near the village, and from the description given of the parties suspected of being implicated in the bloody deed, an in dividual among the Gipsies resembled one of the people described. Newcome, an officer from Union-hall, was instantly despatched to die place pointed out , ca ll e d Green lane, in which two tents were pitched. It was past mid night when the constable reached the spot, and it may be naturally expected the Gipsies had gone to sleep. After examining their features, he was persuaded that they were not the parties wanted. He heard that Hall and Pople, who have been out two days searching the country for the fugitives, had visited the same party in the course of the day, to whom they had left their address, in order to show if any one went to their tents, that an investiga tion had been already accomplished. The Gipsieis, how ever, began to relate to Newcome that they knew very well Mary Ayres, and the pm with whom s h e co h a bi ts .— They stateefurther, that they had seen them near Guild ford lately, b ut , on f ur ther inquiry, it .turned out t h a t this WAR full three weeks back. On being asked where they (the party with -whom Newcombe was conversing) were on the night that the murder was committed, it. w as an swered near S even O a ks, in Kent, murder was sp o k en o f wherever they went. I n a ddi t i o n to this inform a ti on we have to state, th at applications f rom the country, fo r accura t et ind full d escr i ptions of the sus -1 petted individuals, sent to ls, might be They said; that the the parties applying, which were accordi ng ly sent off without loss of time. A letter reached Union-bell yesterday, that a woman dres'sed in a similar manner to the description given o f M ary Ayres was seen in the Metropolis on Monday last. But the in fortnetien being anonymous, no, attention wee p a id to - 'A rumour prevailed yesterday that suspicion now attached to another individual, against whom, hitherto, no imputa tion was raised, and that the: suspected party was then in custody. Grassmith, who went down to Fetcham with the Gipsies whom be apprehended near Windsor, had not returned yesterday afternoon, nor was it known whether they had been liberated or not. The probability is they had. FETCIIAII, Friday afternoon, 6 o'clock. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that Gras .smith, the officer, proceeded to Fetcham on Thursday morning, having in his custody Thomas Walker, Fanny Walker, and Moses Draper, who were all of the , Gipsy tribe, whom he apprehended near Windsor, on the prece ding day on suspicion of having some knowledge of the murders recently perpetrated near Leatherhead, as those .parties were seen in the neighbourhood about that period. 'On being brought before the Itev. Mr. :Holland and - Hankey, Esq. they were strictly examined, in the course of which they satisfactorily accounted Om their time and oecupation frem the commencement of lAtherhead fair up to their appreiteeseion by Crassinith, is Nitigikiretle therefore discharged them. The examination of the gipsies was scarcely over, when two individuals, named Jefferies and Skelton, sought an interview with Mr. Rolland, for the purpose of communi cating to him a conversation that they had had a short time previously with a girl, 14 years of age, named Ben nett, whose parents reside in the next cottage to that lately inhabited by John Akehurst and his housekeeper, on the subject of the murders, which they (the communi cants) considered was of such a nature as to attach consi derable suspicion to those persons. (Mrs. Bennett and her son, it will be remembered, were examined on the in quest that sat on the bodies of the old people, and by their evidence it appeared that they were the first who discover ed the murders, on Friday morning last.) Jefferies pro ceeded to state, that heating of the murders that were per petrated at Fetcham, he went, accompanied by Mr. Skel ton, to that place, for the purpose of, beholding the cottage in which such horrible acts of cruelty were so recently perpetrated. On their approach towards the orchard, they observed a girl, of whom they inquired for the cottage where the murders had been committed.. The girl, who subsequently informed them that her name was Ben nett, pointed out the house, and without receiving any encouragement from them, began, of her own accord, to be very communicative, relating little anecdotes of poor. Akehurst and his housekeeper, in the course of which, she said, " My father and mother were upoilmost the whole of the night that Master Ake hurst was killed." Jefferies asked the girl what they were doing, and if they were in the habit of sitting up late ? The girl said not. She was then asked whether she had heard her father go out. To this she replied, that she thought she heard him open the door in the night. She then, without being questioned, said, " I betted father say to brother Tom, that if any one should ask him questions to stick to the same story that he had told before. .(It may be necessary to state here that her brother Tom was the lad whose evidence was .first taken on the inquest.), Jefferies, conceiving from the girl's admissions that some suspicion attached to the family, accordingly stated the above facts to Mr. Bollaud, who lost no time in investigat ing the matter. He sent for Bennett and his wife, and with out hinting at the conversation alleged to have taken place between their daughter and. Jeffertes ! the Magistrate pro ceeded to put several questions to each of them on the sub ject. In answer to h question, whether ha bad been up late on the night of the murder, Bennett said that both he and his wife were uneasy the greater part of that night, but from what cause their uneasiness proceeded he could not tell; one or two of the children were unwell he recollected that night, and that circumstance might have been the cause. Mr. Bolland then asked him ther he had gone out of doors in the course of the night ?. Bennett paused for a little and said, that he had got up out of bed, opened the door that led into the road, and went outside in order to see that his neighbeur's cattle were not on his grounds. He added, that it was fair-time, which caused a good deal of noise and confusion in the neighbour. - hood. Bennett's wife, who was not present tinting the interrogatories put to her husband, was subsequently ques tioned on the subject. She varied in some degree from Bennett's account of the night in question. . She said her , husband had not gone out of doors at all on Thursday night, and denied having been more uneasy on that 'Cuti cular night than on any other, The variation in their accounts, together withir excited thepr someion s suspicions, eircutnste aened t d hee . tailed by the little girl, , Magistrate granted a search -warrant, which was put into. the hands of Gressmith, the officer, who proceeded to exe cute it ;I and on carefully examining the whole of Ben-,' nett's premises, there was nothing found to implicate him in the murders, and the Magistrates therefore discharged him. Bennett declared most solemnly, that he never cautioned his son, or said, " stick to the same story," as related by his daughter to Mr. Jetreries. IMPORTANT CM A NGE.—Military Guards and Sentinels are to be withdrawn from all County Gaols, from the first of January next, by an order from the Lord Lieutenant, directed to the respective Sheriffs of Ireland, and the duty of watching the prisons is en tirely to devolve on the Civil Authorities. Tim Cork Reporter says, that the Sheriffs of that city have re cerved intimation that no Military Guard, from the period above stated, will be allowed them for any pri son in their Bailiwick, nor will a Military Guard be allowed to escort prisoners to or from the Jail or the Court House during the Assizes.

Mr. Hawley, the highly respectable jeweller and watchmaker in the Strand, was brought up in. custody, and underwent an ee initiation on the following serious charge:— Mr. Richards, the barrister, and Mr. Knight, a solicitor, at tended on behalf of Mr. Hawley, and Mr. Gates attended as soli citor for the prosecution. In order to the understending of the case, it is necessary to pre mise, that on the of C.:ctober a forged cheque, for the aunt of 5451., purporting to be drawn by Mr. Charles Sewell, a hop-mer chant in the Borough, was paid to Messrs. Haubury and Co., of Lombard-street, bankers, and there appeared little doubt that the cheque had been forged by a young man in Mr. Sewell's employ . ; the bankers, in exchange for the cheqUe, had given a SOW. cote and forty-five sovereigns, and the 300/. note was traced to have been changed at the Bank of Rogltted, for a 100/. note. and four LW. notes, and three of the latter of these notes had been traced to the hands of Mr. Hawley ; and Mr. Cope, the Marshall, accordingly waited on Mr. Hawley, and asked front whom he had received them? he stated that a young man had called at his chop, and bought sundry mildest, and ItGd accom-' partied hi, clerk to the Bank to exchange the SOU note, and had left SOU in Mr. Hawley's care, after paying fur the erticlete and receiving cash out, so its to make it an even sum of 9001. and represented that he was about .to proceed to Nortionnberlend, to visit his father and sisters whom he lead not seen for worn° years, and both him Hui his clerk (Mr. Sheppard) promised that in case of any application either by the young man or any person on hie behalf, to get possession of the 2001. remaining in his possession, t%would detain the parties, and immediately giv e notic e t o M r . C' . Mr. Cope bad since made various applications to Mr. Hawley, but no information regarding any of the parties having been received, he, on Thursday, night, in company with Mr. Oates, the solicitor; again applied to Mr. Hawley, who then in formed them that 11 woman who represented herself to he the mother,of the young man, had applied to - him on the subjet witt a written order to him to deliver up the 100/. rescreening; itt . hive betide, saying at the same time, ia sesstod, lave thr but he declined doing so, and striteattlatuot gin e up thl order, and 110 suffered her to go away. Mr. Cope, considering that Mr. Haw ley, under these circumstances, had not acted fairly by Lim, told him, and his clerk, Mr. Sheppard, that he shoold consider them both as his prisoners, and be desired them, in polite terms, to sub, mit. Sheppard, however, contrived to escape through the hack parlour. But, in order to prevent any inisuuderstaudiug, Mr. Cope took Mr. Hawley before Sir Richard Birnie, at 13w-us/tete and the worthy Magistrate directed him to detain him, and bring him before the Lord Mayor, in consequence of the uttering of the forged cheque having taking place in the City of London ; and Mr. Sheppard appeared yesterday to giro evidence on the part of his master. ' George Sheppard examined—l amen assistant to Mr. Hawley. I recollect a young man comingand purchasing a gold watch. I sold him one for twenty guineas. Ile afterwards bought a chain, seal, and key, altogether it canoe to 41/. He pulled out a whole handful of sovereigns and paid the money. lie then put his hand into his breeches pocket and took out a Bank note, saying, " I must take care of this and not lose it !" He asked me if I would take care of it for him, as it was a Bank note for 3001.? I replied that if he had no friend that he could entrust it to; I would do so. lie wished me to take care of it. I told him as he was a stranger, to write his name and address on it, as there should be no mistake. He then gave his name and address, " William Parker, Princes-place, Kennington." The note was de posited in the cash-box, and on the following morning he called again, when, at his request, I showed him several phi watches. He said he was going to Northumberland to see his family, whom he had not visited for some years, and he wished to take a watch as .a present to his sister. After looking at a number of ladies' watches, he eventually purchased one, which, with some other trinkets, came to thirty guineas. He then wanted sonic money on account of the 300/. note. I told him that the note was locked up, as Mr. Hawley had not come to town yet. Mr. Haw ley afterwards came, and I asked him to go to the Bank with me and get the note changed. He said he hail no objection, anti went accordingly. We went to the changing clerk, and he ap peared perfectly to understand the business. I again asked him his address, and he repeated it the same as before, and I wrote the address on the note ; it was then exchanged for four fifty and a one hundred pound note. He said that it made no differ ence to him in what manner it was cashed. I kept the notes. He was going away, when he observed, as he was going into the country, he wanted to settle for his lodgings, and he should be glad of a few sovereigns, and be would call and settle the balance that night. He did not 011 that night, but the next day lie called and said, " I owe you for the last watch, and there itt the sovarelmes iliac I borrowed.; so i think I will take the difference between that a n d 1001., that wilt leave All even *VOL in your hands, which you swill keep until I return iKtiti Northumber land, which will not be above eight or Int daye. , . lie gave him man, the money accordi ng ly, an d had nenevi, e i ne , , een t h e young • There was a good deal on bot side*, said further in the matter, which we have not roon, to detail, and after much de 'held to bail, him se lf i n 300/ . an d two s li u b re. er t a iea tion in , 1 1 1 1 1 0 Vl e a4 , 1ey . i,w, to appear to answer any complaint made against him at thit next Sessions. OUILDRALL,,--4. Caldwell, the young man who attempted suicide by taking laudanum and applying a knife to his thrust, was brotiebt up, apparently in a state of contrition for his offence, and, requested the Alderman to peruse a letter, wherein such peni tence was expressed at length; he also brought forward a person to speak to his character and former good conduct, which was thought by the worthy Alderman to be suffiiient to justify the adoption of a more lenient course towards him. Mr. Rogers here stepped forward and said, that Mr. Gibson And himself were willing to give Caldwell employment, in the ca pacity of light porter, if he chose to accept of it. The prisoner said he was most gTateful for such kindness, and he would endeavour, by every means in his power to give then, satisfaction. Sir P. LAURIZ then observed, that it was very humane in Messrs. Rogers and Gibson to Make such an offer ; and es, from the letter he had perused, he perceived he had received a good education, he hoped that his future enraluet would prove such as to give satisfaction to his employers.—Re.was then discharged.

The poor child replied that she had been driven to the streets owing to the unkindness of her step-mother, who refused her an asylum in her father's house, and fumed her to adopt a course of life which she loathed, as the only means of saving. her from wandering about the streets whippet food or shelter.

" She is a wicked Yeoman," said Sir R. Blunts, " and has your ruin, poor child, to answer far; you are discharged, but your companions, who are well known, must be conunitted." Mrs. Grindell, whose name must be familiar to our readers, presented horaelflo the course 'of the day to Sir 11. Btartt►t, to state that Mr. Mr.' Adolphus, the barrister, would appear before ityt to-morrow (this day), in order to tender bail for her husband Mr. Charles Griudell, now confined in Coldbatli-fields Prison.— Airs.
